Not going to live the rest of my life and not going to kill myself but a secret third thing

the duality of "Please ask me if im okay bc im very much not ok and need to talk about it" and "No im okay im just a little tired" when actually asked

[ID: a tweet from Kat, username chronicparent30, that reads "chronic illness is weird in that if a healthy person got ill for a week with all the symptoms i deal with in a single day, they'd likely rest and do the bare minimum for that week. but because my symptoms are forever i'm meant to live life as normal no matter how dreadful i feel. /End ID]

I literally hate when people try to moralize thinking. our brains are just information generating machines, and we can try to condition ourselves to have different mindsets. but at the end of the day, we cannot have complete control on the thoughts we have. and it is stupid to expect that people repress "immoral" or "sinful" thoughts. ultimately the only thing we can do is chose how to actively respond to these thoughts; we have the choice whether or not we manifest these thoughts into the world.

as someone who has "evil" thoughts everyday... I think it is important to critically engage with your thinking. like asking yourself "hey where is this thought coming from?" or more importantly "could this thought have the potential to hurt someone if I acted on this thought, consciously or subconsciously?" but you aren't a "bad" person for thinking these thoughts. nor are your thoughts "bad."

it is also okay if “bad” thoughts linger for a while. it is okay if your “bad” thoughts aren’t just intrusive but arise consciously. you don’t have to constantly try to repress your thoughts, even if they are “bad.” critical engagement is not about stopping you from having those thoughts, it is about having a conversation with those thoughts. it is about engaging with those thoughts without shame. its about letting thoughts run their course so that they can be released. trust me repression does nothing.

#stop playing the game of ‘who is it okay for me to hurt?’ #the answer is no one #the answer is ALWAYS going to be no one #none people is the correct number of people to hurt [X]

Being trans can be.. fun. Being trans SHOULD be fun. No one transitions to be miserable, transitioning is a celebration of ourselves and our right to determine our own fate. It's also cute & fun & joyous and those feelings need to be cultivated in your transition. 🍓🍊🍋🍑🥝

Even if you don't think/know that you have [disorder] (or even if you know you don't!) you're allowed to use coping strategies meant for or associated with that disorder. You can use ADHD tips for your poor memory. You can stim even if you're not autistic (stimming has a lot of overlap between disorders honestly). You can use chronic fatigue tips if you have depression. You're not stealing resources. If it helps you, it helps you, whether you were the target audience or not
